While the Kids Are Away…

the project-completing begins!!

My girls are with their aunt and uncle this week (my fab sister and brother-in-law!) in sunny Florida, building sand castles, swimming, having a grand old time, and maybe missing us just a tad… or not!

While they’re away, I’m in full-on project mode. I initially had planned to work on some kitchen painting this week, but that plan has been deferred for a little while longer. In the meantime, I’m working on:

my daughter’s bedroom makeover

some more chalk paint growth charts

recovering cushions for my outdoor settee

and finishing up the little camp stools I showed you last week

In fact, I finished one of those little stools today? Wanna see?

I should finish the other tomorrow, and then I’ll have a full post to tell you all about them. I was this close to finishing up today, and when it came time to put the snaps on the cover, I couldn’t find a rubber gasket for my snap plier. UGH. Guess I’m going to get another snap plier tomorrow, unless of course they sell replacement rubber gaskets (pretty please?).

I also have a fun little front porch spiffin’ up in the works… inspired by the colorway of these stools!
